The brain's cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pulses during deep sleep and this appears to be tied to brain wave activity and blood flow, an exploratory study showed. Large oscillations of CSF inflow to the ...

Researchers at Boston University, USA report that the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain is linked to waking brain activity. Led by Stephanie Williams, and publishing in the open access journal ...

A major international study has uncovered a new biological clue that could help predict dementia long before memory problems arise. Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Zhejiang University ...

We think of our brains as many things: the seat of the mind, the place where our memories live, or perhaps the world’s most powerful supercomputer, but you might be surprised to learn that our brains ...

Research headed by teams at the University of Rochester Center for Translational Medicine and the University of Copenhagen describes for the first time how a spreading wave of disruption and the flow ...

Every 20 seconds, a wave of fresh cerebrospinal fluid rolls into the sleeping brain. These slow, rhythmic blasts, described for the first time in the Nov. 1 Science, may help explain why sleep is so ...

Researchers at the UC Davis MIND Institute and the University of North Carolina have shown for the third time that an increased amount of extra-axial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is associated with the ...

A study on the effects of commonly used anaesthetic and sedative drugs on cerebrospinal fluid flow and volume has uncovered findings regarding their impact on the brain's vital glymphatic system.

Researchers report that the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain is linked to waking brain activity. The study demonstrates that manipulating blood flow in the brain with visual stimulation ...
